around the clock or across the world this is our international from the team and myself you know neal a little welcome to our top story human rights organizations on the media are urging the saudi government not to execute a teenage boy for among other alleged crimes taking part in government rallies some of the offenses go back to when he was just 10. over what they call the. trial. takes a look at why washington may have turned a blind eye. this is more courageous he is now 18 years old and on trial in saudi arabia and this is him at the time of his alleged crime on a bike in his hometown and with 30 other children cycling around as part of an anti-government rally he was 10 years old with a job he spent the last 4 years in jail some of them and saw that she confinement

the saudi authorities say he's confessed but the teenager denies this claiming he was forced into an admission of guilt after hours of torture riyadh's decision to sentence him to death is on surprisingly not going down well ridiculous exercise or brutality of starvation state authoritarianism and other human rights abuse case the prosecutor in quite a racist case is not only calling for the death penalty but for his body to be crucified or dismembered afterwards here's a chain year old kid riding his bike and somehow this is a capital offense now you'd be forgiven if you're experiencing some deja vu remember all the indignation over lost his assassination of saudi john this jamal khashoggi the media allege the crown prince was complicit in his murder something the kingdom the need to noise politicians called for immediate sanctions against riyadh and human rights groups blasted the kingdom's constant violations of well

human rights but do you remember how it and did i call the game i like the king. i should king. defending you king and you have a lot of money. yep you guessed it minutely contracts to the tune of billions of dollars not of course for getting the millions of dollars of oil heading to american shores every day everything made perfect sense for trump and in fact it seems the case actually helped him dip into the saudi cause. yes they buy a lot from us $450000000000.00 that was you know you had people wanting to cut off saudi arabia they put $450000000000.00 i don't want to lose i'm not so where are we now on the one hand trump's administration has just all through a top american defense fund called raytheon to couple with the saudis and build

bomb parts and saudi arabia on the other hand the fate of a minor facing the death penalty for challenging the saudi regime to be reigning in 2nd guess what's next there's no pretense anymore of it being moral and of the trump administration there you the u.s. used to maybe it was worse when their prior administrations where they tried to pretend that what they were doing was the moral thing that's been very clear he brags about the deals he strikes you know selling arms to the saudis we you know just turn a blind eye to the atrocities and that say well you know it's it's real politik we support saudi arabia because they're on our side is really very honest that he doesn't care about human lives the life of the show. or any other person on death row or any other person who's about to be executed by extralegal means and by the saudi royal family now to experience these as look they buy a lot of weapons from us is made of gold media hype about these new gruesome

executions i don't believe that the u.s. government policy makers will change their orientation towards the radio whatsoever this sunny's or cash out for us that since contractors so you really is a strategic ally on israel and the me is the u.s. control over that resource rich period called the middle east. let's turn tension to a picture perfect time in germany which is in the spotlight over the election of a new american nothing stream so far but the likely victory of the right wing candidate who has already won the 1st round of voting has sent shock waves all the way to hollywood maria financially is there. welcome to girly wood this is how this little german town of gurlitz at the border with poland is sometimes referred to with hollywood teams frequent guests here not surprisingly look around me having survived * the allied bombing raids hain war to its old town has retained

a special atmosphere making it a perfect location for historical and war dramas national socialist party car you're among the blockbusters filmed here in glorious bastards and ham and so the grand budapest hotel boy in training. but some no fear that this traditionally left leaning town is about to undergo an inglorious shift and become germany's 1st to vote in mayor from the alternative for germany party the energy candidate sebastian vettel a 36 year old police commissioner picked up 36.4 percent of the vote in the 1st round and he has a serious chance of topping the candidates in the 2nd round runoff later this week now actors and directors both german and foreign are calling on locals here to avoid. the right don't give in to hate and hostility conflict and exclusion

please vote wisely don't betray your convictions the moment someone claims to be able to solve problems for you because it is this i personally think it's a good thing that the c.d.u. was finally voted out it never was and never will be a good while they are in power. i don't really know what i think the previous government went too many mistakes as you did to me and no i don't think it's right and i think the people of girl is a smart enough to the site and i think that imposing someone else's opinion or example from america is unacceptable. it's typical for artists because they think differently they can also voice their opinions we live in a democratic country so. everyone is free to express their thoughts if they don't believe you and they shouldn't meddle in our local affairs we do not tell others what to do and i can say anything specifically about the spot to. decide on its

course so far they have no plan. i wouldn't choose the f.t. anyway there is still already nevertheless the elections a democratic this is everyone through them they'll tell us if a germany party candidate may be leading the polls right now but with 6 days to vote the power of the film industry is elite now involved the mayor's race here him this town has itself become big screen material life an ocean on our t.v. reporting from the town of garnets and eastern germany. speaking of germany the country's foreign minister has described tensions between iran and its adversaries as highly explosive and extremely serious musses comments come during an official visit to tehran where he's seeking ways to save the 2015 deal which is on the verge of collapse now germany's top diplomat met with both his arena and counterparts mohamad jabbered serif president. on me on monday speaking to the press must rest

europe support for the faltering agreement and promise that a payment system designed to bypass u.s. sanctions on iran will soon be ready the iranian foreign minister for his part how this story morning awash in. the new tensions in our region as a result of the u.s. waging an economic war against iran mr trump himself has announced that the u.s. economic war against iran we have never started a new war and we will not do so however if another country starts when we want to they will not be the ones to finish it but to avoid it we want to. we cannot work miracles try to avert it if they would do. well the german foreign minister's visit comes with less than a month. until and really an imposed deadline for compliance with then you can elect spiers now and early may iran suspended some of its commitments on the court and called on the other signatories to shield it from the impact of u.s. sanctions there or by honoring their commitments to run this said that if nothing

changes on the 7th of july it will resume high level you really in richmond the head of the un's atomic watchdog confirmed monday that around as already accelerated its enrichment of the 5th cycle material over the past number of weeks the u.s. has bolstered its military presence in the persian gulf causing tensions with iran to sort it also is continuing to put a ments financial pressure on the really in leadership a policy we know that donald trump's repeatedly braced. they're failing is an illusion i don't want to for those of the action that we can turn that around. but the sanctions are. extraordinary how powerful that is well analysts we've heard from european signatories to that deal simply have not done enough to preserve it. of course the ukrainians are getting it. because they have respected their part of

the day you apparently until now so they stopped saying if nobody move we will start again richmond over you're right and i'm so pissed because of course at that moment the americans feel justified to do something so europe should move quicker europe has to have its. functioning to satisfy the arrangement and have some companies benefiting from benefiting from need to continue trading with european countries own. for about a year for europeans to do something and they haven't done much. agreement between iran and p 5 plus one so that. you have. remaining so you don't let's hoping that these other countries would the fact that us is out . in practice we haven't seen that we have seen the europeans they want to.

specifically prohibiting videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age gender race cars to religion sexual orientation or veteran status if that was any more vague it might as well have been fog me store the cloud it's really that vague videos alleging a group is superior gosh according to that statement the hammer of politically correct judgement is about to fall in later other animal lovers that see dogs as superior to men. in any way to saying i'm allergic to dogs but i'd still choose allergies over another man in my life. when i started out i love my don't suppress that couldn't imagine my life without my has was.
